@Pink Cow: Fans are hoping for the highly asked for Eeveelution, Draceon.

@Kaisos: Why is it drastic? Granted that I do agree with you that a Dark gym may be too much to wish for, but I think it can be done since we have enough dark types. Whether or not this generation will have enough is yet to be seen. Anyhoo, if these 2 games are gonna be the Gold and Silver of Black and White, I hope we finally get the evolutions some people proposed for Black and White, like the Samurai Farfetch'd, the Native American Chief Xatu, and the Golden Keyblade Unown.

"Drastic" as in "it would be more than a minor cosmetic change which is essentially all they have done since Gen 2".
I fully expect the Fire starter to end up being Fire/Fighting yet again too, just because anything else would require even the smallest shred of creativity.

I'm gonna go with Fire/Psychic since my gut is telling me, they're gonna use the Ifrit legend for the fire legend, same with a grass and water elemental (Undine maybe?) for Chespin and Froakie.

That's a really weird presumption if you ask me. I'm not necessarily saying you're incorrect considering nothing is true until it's revealed, but why would a pokemon based on a fennec fox that utilizes fire's final evolution look like a djinn of fire? That just doesn't make sense.

And Froakie evolving into a water nymph? Again, sounds ridiculous to me, but if you have a reason for such an expectation I'd love to hear it.

It's just that, I don't want to imagine that the fox is just going to evolve into a ninetales clone. Besides, with just some screens, people already assume that the game is going to be France-referenced only, where I believe that they're going to cover all of Europe, and I happen to like mythology coming from Norway, Greece, etc. It's like you wrote down, nothing is true until it's revealed, but it doesn't hurt to imagine the routes they may take without someone breathing down another person's neck just to say haha yeah right, like that could happen. I'm sorry if there's some unwritten law that can't be broken where someone can't use their imagination to guess what road Pokémon is gonna take.

You do realize that for every generation since the beginning there's been a separately released 3rd version that supposedly "combines" the two previous ones? (Though gen. 5 didn't. It was more of a continuation than an alternative.)

I can already speculate there's likely going to be a third one a while after called "Z version". So I have to agree the naming is a reference for this being the first main Pokemon titles to fully enter the 3D plane.

Make me feel dumb why don't you? Of course that has to be what they're doing.

I didn't say that. Perfectly fine with whatever speculation you may have, I was just stating that I found yours quite odd and wanted to know why you came to that conclusion since it didn't make much sense to me and it's been shown in the past that starter Pokemon have never had such drastic change in forms when they evolve.

And yeah, I agree that if the region in these games were based of all of Europe, that would be pretty cool too.

My apologies, I just wanted to point out the theory that the X and Y in the titles referring to dimensional axes was quite legitimate.
